What do firefighters do when there's no fire?

Answer 1

In addition to their obvious role, firefighters also function as medical responders. They get dispatched to emergencies in the hopes that they can provide some medical aid before paramedics arrive. When there are no calls to respond to, firefighters do the following:

1. Preparing — Firefighters need to make sure they are ready at a moment’s notice. This involves checking that the trucks and equipment are always in good working order.
2. Training — Firefighters are constantly required to learn new skills. This includes medical training as well as fitness and equipment training.
3. Public Outreach — Firefighters sometimes speak at special events and cover topics ranging from exit drills in the home to wildfire safety.
4. Reporting — Firefighters are required to document every incident they respond to, no matter what.
